    Complete anecdote, and nothing to do with relative nerfing or not: Opus 5.5 has been surprisingly good for me (including the past couple hours), especially for following research-level questions/directions.

      Opus 5.5 feels like yet another massive increase. I've got it at my job and it's basically one shotting quite large refactors that would have taken me at least a day if i had to do it by hand. Now i let Opus do the refactor in ten minutes and i go through it by hand to clean it up for an hour and it's done.

      Its quite worrisome honestly and i feel like that 'im in danger' Simpsons meme more and more. Right now i still have a lot of domain expertise which helps in knowing which questions to ask and which problems to solve, but well, i wonder how long that is going to save my job.
